KTPS security snags

Issue No. 2 | January 16-31, 2012

The Kothagudem Thermal Power Station (KTPS) at Paloncha in Andhra Pradesh has been in the news some months back for inadequate security personnel at V and VI phases of KTPS, which had resulted in regular thefts at the site.

Loopholes in security and repeated technical snags are leading to reduction in power production in KTPS. Two copper bundles were stolen at the VI stage of the KTPS. Each bundle costs Rs. 10 lakh and they are needed for smooth running of generators and boilers. Subsequently, AP Genco decided to recruit 400 security personnel for all power projects across the district.
